This tool increases the fun factor of your KitchenAid stand mixer several times over. Toss cubes of meat into the food tray, stomp 'em down, and watch the results wriggle out the front. Grind your own beef or chicken for patties or tacos. Blend your own sausage mixtures, from breakfast to boudin blanc. With additional attachments, you can turn it into a pasta maker or a sausage stuffer. It's easy to assemble and use. Most parts are dishwasher-safe; hand wash the grinding blades, wooden stomper, and cutting knife. --Betsy Danheim

 Awesome! November 27, 2008

I bought and used for sausage and kilbasa. The grinder works great, the sausage attachment needs a better pusher.

The food grinder attachment works great,it works well for making your own hamburger..better and cheaper than store hamburger. I also recently purchased the food puree attachment as well. I used the puree attachment to puree my pumpkins and sweet potatoes, works fantastic!!!!!
If you love to cook fresh, it's a great buy!!!

AT FIRST WAS UNHAPPY WITH PLASTIC PUSHER/TOOL THAT REPLACED WOODEN TOOL ON OLDER MODELS. THEN REALIZED NEW PUSHER HAS BUILT IN STOP SO WILL NOT GET WARN BY FEED ASSEMBLY LIKE OLD MODEL. GOOD UNIT, VERY PLEASED.
 Leaves Residue In Food November 24, 2008
F. Greenwood
This device grinds food just fine.... BUT it leaves a small amount of gray-black residue in the food. This comes from where the grinder plate wears against the metal shaft. As the food is pressed past, it picks up the residue.
If you are not watching, it is easy to overlook as it soon gets mixed in with the rest of the freshly ground food, but it is clearly there.
The customer service people told me that this residue is "harmless" but I have had a hard time getting comfortable feeding my family a metal residue in their food. I end up picking it out, but that is labor intensive and takes all of the fun out of using this machine.
I have tried adding a small amount of food-safe lubricant, but that makes the problem worse. I have also tried cleaning the parts and adjusting the tightness and the grind speed.
Sturdy, easy to use and clean November 3, 2008

The food grinder attachment was easy to assemble and attach, and the instructions were clear. When run on 4, as the instructions advised, it ground quickly and evenly. I've ground beef and lamb through it with no problems. You do have to actively shove the meat down into the unit with the plunger; its design makes it very safe and easy to do so, but with the attachment mounted above the mixer it's a little awkward if you're reaching up to do this for very long. Next time I might try setting the mixer on the kitchen table to lower the overall height, but I don't think this would be a major problem unless you were very short (I'm 5'6") or had a *lot* of grinding to do. The attachment disassembles easily for an easy, thorough cleaning; the tip someone provided of running a couple of pieces of bread through at the end really does help with clean up. Overall I am very satisfied and would highly recommend this attachment, and it provides yet another reason that I would recommend the Kitchenaid mixer line as well.
